Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 258 Real Kung Fu 【Subscribe】

After the game, Lu Yu invited all the national team teammates and coaches to have a meal at Lu Ji in San Francisco.

For the men's basketball players who have been in the United States for more than 20 days and have never eaten their hometown dishes, it is a pleasure to have a serious Sichuan cuisine here.

However, a topic at the end of the meal made everyone fall into a heavy mood.

The Chinese men's basketball team now has a roster of 16 players, but only 12 players can participate in the World Championships, that is, four players cannot participate, and this list will be announced after returning to China.

When a few teenagers began to feel uneasy,
Liu Yudong said: "Coach, otherwise I won't go this time, and leave the opportunity to young people. I'm too old and I can't move."

Liu Yudong is indeed quite old, 32 years old this year, but to say that he can't move, it is pure nonsense.

You know, just a few months ago, Liu Yudong won the scoring championship with an average of 37 points per game. In the finals against the Sharks led by Yao Ming, he scored 29 points, 34 points, 56 points and 51 points in four games. In the end, he averaged 41.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game, setting a record in the finals. In the end, although he was defeated, he was honored to be the most valuable player in the league.

Call it immobile?

What is different from Lu Yu's previous life is that this year's Liu Yudong underwent surgery ahead of schedule. In Lu Yu's previous life, Liu Yudong did the surgery after defeating Guangdong next year. That is, after that surgery, Liu Yudong's condition began to decline.

In the CBA02-03 season, Liu Yudong played the entire regular season and playoffs with heart-wrenching pain, and still scored 30 points per game. In the end, he successfully led his team to defeat Guangdong in the finals to win the championship.

After winning the championship, the relieved Liu Yudong agreed to the surgery.

On May 2003, 5, the entire Chinese basketball world was shaken. Liu Yudong underwent a 14-hour knee endoscopic surgery that day. The doctor took out 5 broken bones from Liu Yudong's knee.

But this time, it was not so shocking, just a simple joint puncture to remove the effusion.

I don't know if the early treatment will prolong Liu Yudong's career a lot.

But what can be known is that Liu Yudong is still in the recovery period from injury, but when the World Championships starts, there is a high probability that he will be able to recover about the same.

So when Liu Yudong said he quit, all the team members were stunned, even Lu Yu was a little stunned.

Liu Yudong smiled: "At my height, every time I play in an international competition, I will be targeted. If I go, I will cause you trouble tactically. What's more, I should let young people grow up."

Wang Fei frowned slightly and did not speak.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Although Liu Yudong in the CBA arena can kill the Quartet, but in the international arena he can't be invincible.

His height of 1 meters is only an advantage in the CBA arena. Facing those tall players of more than 98 meters, his height is simply not enough to see, and his speed and strength are not as good as foreign players.In the face of the strict defense of foreign players, Liu Yudong could not find a breakthrough at all, and could only retreat again and again.

In the 1984 World Championships, Liu Yudong's data was 11.5 points and 4.3 rebounds. By the time of the Sydney Olympic Games in 00, he averaged only 7.8 points per game.It's not that Liu Yudong's level has dropped, but that his opponent has become stronger.Although Liu Yudong's skills are very good, his height is really a disadvantage.

At that time, Gong Xiaobin, who had a height of 2 meters in the team, was more valued than Liu Yudong, which also made Liu Yudong lose many opportunities to express himself in the international arena.

At this time, Gong Xiaobin also stood up, raised his glass and suffocated: "Da Liu is right, I also think it's time to make way for the young people, I'm too lazy to train, coach, about the last training. I'm sorry, don't add me to the roster this time, if I don't want to train one day, it will ruin the atmosphere of the team."

Good guy, if it's Liu Yudong's failure to recover from an injury, and he feels that his height is a disadvantage, then there is no injury, and Gong Xiaobin, who is 2 meters tall, is going to quit, it's even more confusing.

"Besides, Da Liu, I'm 2cm taller than you." Gong Xiaobin added with a smile.

In fact, the two old guys have also seen it during this period of time. Even if the two of them play, they may not necessarily play better than these young people. Originally, the team still needed two experienced players from them, but Lu Yu Come, just like the stadium commander, the team will not panic at all.

The two of them are in the team and will not be a hindrance to the team, but they are not so helpful to the team.

So the two of them unanimously proposed to withdraw from the national team. In fact, they were unwilling to quit. You must know that this national team seems to be the most promising one, and no one wants to give up serving the country. opportunity to travel.

It's an honor, and that's what they've been playing for.

Hu Weidong also stood up: "You two guys have said so, so I've been in such a bad state in the past two seasons, shouldn't I quit?"

胡卫东1999-2000赛季，场均还能得分30.0分，并且场均有6.5个助攻和4.5个篮板的表现。

That year, the Orlando Magic sent Hu Weidong a 10-day contract, but Hu Weidong missed it again because of a foot injury.

It was because of this injury that Hu Weidong's condition plummeted.

2000-01赛季和2001-02赛季，胡卫东在南钢场均分别只能得到16.7分和15.3分。

And the 99-00 season directly dropped in half!
All the players sitting there were stunned. They did not expect that the first to leave the national team were actually three veterans.

Everyone's eyes turned to the silent head coach Wang Fei.

Wang Fei is still struggling in his heart now. From an actual combat point of view, the three veterans are better than the newcomers because they are more experienced. This is still in the international arena. If they are placed in the league, the three veterans can almost match these newcomers. Hang up and hit.

Compared with the other players, Zhang Cheng and Chen Ke are still a bit weak in strength, which means that the two of them must have left.

The last two places left are to be picked from three veterans or from a few newcomers.

The veterans are Gong Xiaobin, Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong.

The newcomers are Yi Jianlian, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng.

Of course, there are also Li Nan, Guo Shiqiang and Liu Wei. Among them, Li Nan, as the only stable shooter in the team except for the four who play in the NBA, naturally stayed on the team. Guo Shiqiang and Liu Wei are the few point guards in the team. It is also impossible to let them go.

Originally, according to Wang Fei's plan, two out of the three veterans were picked out of the roster.

But at this moment, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

If nothing else, this year will be the last time for Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong to participate in the World Series.

Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong were born in 1970. Gong Xiaobin is one year older than them. They are both 32 or 33 years old this year. The next World Championship will be the 2004 Olympics, when they will be between 34 and 35 years old. At that age and state, Most likely it won't work.

Isn't it a bit too cruel to not let them fight at this time?

Maybe young people need experience in competitions, but Lu Yu and Wang Zhizhi have determined that they will not participate in the Asian Championships and the Asian Games. There is a high probability that Yao Ming will not play in the future.

Then why let these veterans not play this game.

Wang Fei never felt that he was a person who swayed, but this time he swayed. From the beginning, he was more inclined to keep young people, and now the three veterans have volunteered to leave the team, and he wants to keep them again.

Du Feng looked left and right, if Gong Xiaobin and Liu Yudong left, then he and Yi Jianlian would be left behind.

In terms of physical talent and personal ability, he is not as good as Yi Jianlian. In terms of experience, he is not as good as the two veterans. His only advantage is that he dares to fight.

"Coach, I voluntarily leave the national team." Du Feng stood up and said.

Wang Fei waved his hand, let him sit down, and then said: "I know what you guys think, and they are not willing to let teammates leave because of themselves, but our coaching staff will make a decision on this matter. Today is dinner, who wants to mention it. Whoever blew this bottle on this matter."

He patted the liquor in front of him.

Lu Yu smiled, he knew that Wang Fei had already made a decision in his heart, but it was just not suitable for this occasion.

……

The teammates of the national team have been back for three days, and Lu Yu has also been back to Chicago for three days.

When he first entered the house, he was surprised to find that Charlize and Annie were watching TV and eating fruit in the room, while the commander Lu Yu poured water for them to get snacks.

Co-authored, the two of you became a frontline alliance and decided to unify to the outside world?

When she went to bed at night, Annie wrinkled her nose and snorted at Lu Yu: "Sister Charlize has already told me about your bad things. You'd better not let me catch you, or I will slap you!"

Lu Yu looked at her gesture of making scissors, and always felt the chill below.

After resting at home until the fifth day, Lu Yu was bored. It was too hard at home. Now the two beauties seem to be united, and they are no longer submissive to Lu Yu. They have become the masters of the family, and Lu Yu is just one. servant.

Unable to play the game and without the applause of the audience, Lu Yu felt a little empty.

At this time, Snoopy sent a message, telling Lu Yu that the official 12-man roster of the national team came out, and Lu Yu was on it.

Lu Yuxin said this is not nonsense?

How could he not be in it, he was more concerned about who left in the big list.

When he saw the list of 12 people, he knew that in addition to Zhang Cheng and Chen Ke, there were also Du Feng and Wang Shipeng who left.

The list of 12 people is: Guo Shiqiang, Liu Wei, Lu Yu, Hu Weidong, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong, Yi Jianlian, Battelle and Yao Ming.

In the end, Wang Fei remained a veteran.

Lu Yu thought for a while and called Claus. After confirming it, he asked Snoopy to contact Wang Shipeng and Du Feng, and then contacted Li Chunjiang of Hongyuan Team and the leaders of Bayi Team and Nangang Team. , Decided the Bulls summer training camp before the preseason, inviting Wang Shipeng, Du Feng, Zhang Cheng and Chen Ke to participate in the training.

To make up for their departure from the national team.

Although Lu Yu knows that Wang Fei must have communicated with them, this is his own intention for them, and he hopes that Wang Shipeng and Du Feng can better improve themselves in the training camp.

After learning of this benefit, Zhu Fang stomped her feet angrily. He knew that he was no longer on the 12-man roster, and he also wanted to train with an NBA team.

After arranging these times, Lu Yu continued to return to a state of boredom.

Or, go to training?

But the Bulls' teammates have already started to take vacations, the summer league time has passed, the summer training camp has not yet started, and now I can't find anyone who wants to look for it.

Go to a variety show to make a cameo?

Lu Yu was reluctant to go. He was also worried that his personality in the variety show would collapse. The players should just play well, and don't make so many fools.

Artest wanted to find Lu Yu to release an album together, but Lu Yu couldn't understand the rap he sang, so he refused directly.

"The men's basketball World Championship will start on August 8th, today is August 29st, and there are 8 days left. The national team will gather on August 1th. They will play a few warm-up games, and then they will come to the United States to play the World Championships. But what about the nine days before the gathering?" Lu Yu thought to himself.

You can't be a servant at home every day, can you?
Annie, who was watching TV, said a little unbearably, "Why don't you come watch TV with us?"

"Ok."

Lu Yu sat between the two and watched TV.

On the TV was a disc that the two of them didn't know where to find it. The title was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Yes, it was the martial arts action movie directed by Ang Lee.

"Lu, do you Chinese really know how to stand on bamboo like this?" Charlize asked curiously.

"You are an actor, can't you see that this is the hanging Weiya?" Lu Yu glanced at her.

"But I've never been to China, and I don't know what Chinese Kung Fu is like." Charlize's words were agreed with Anne, who also said that to her, China is a very mysterious country.

Thinking of Chinese Kung Fu, Lu Yu thought of the morning exercise master who played Tai Chi in the park in the morning.

I thought of Master Ma, who is good at it.

In fact, what I think about most is my experience of learning Chuanwu. It cannot be said that Chuanwu is useless in fighting. Chuanwu has its own advantages. Just a good combination.

Wait... China.

The last time I returned to China, I took time to go back because I was suspended.

Why don't I take advantage of these nine days to go back to China to pick it up?
Lu Yu suddenly got inspiration. It has been nearly three years since he was reborn, and he has returned to China once in the middle. Although he has no nostalgic family in his previous life, it is his home after all.

Use these few days to take them to see the scenic spots and historical sites in China. There are great rivers and mountains. In my last life, I had no money and no time. In this life, I have money. Although the time is not much, nine days are enough. National team reunion.

He thought of another question.

When I return to China, I am not an ordinary person. Even if I return to China, I have to go back secretly.

At least, you can't be blocked by fans as soon as you leave the airport, then you can't play.

"Lu, Lu, what are you thinking?" Annie stretched out her palm and waved in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu regained his senses and asked with a smile, "Do you want to see real Chinese Kung Fu?"

Real Chinese Kung Fu?
The two women looked at Lu Yu's wretched smile, and looked at the bedroom involuntarily... I heard that in ancient China, a man could marry several wives.
